Королева ночи [Koroleva nochi] [English translation]

[1st Verse]

I trusted you so much; you told me about love,

You had been sending me flowers, kissing my hands,

When we were alone;

Turns out you gave your promises not just to me.

I've seen everything yesterday, and it was as if

My love died in my eyes.

[Pre-Chorus:]

I'll wipe my tears; I'll become beautiful;

Today, I want to be happy.

[Chorus:]

I'm the queen of the night — tonight, for sure;

I don't hide my eyes, I won't cry anymore.

You're free now,

Do what you want; farewell!

I'll be the queen of the night tonight.

And this means I will forget you for sure;

You're free now,

You're no longer fashionable; get out!

[2nd Verse]

And later we'll go our ways. Phone-calls.

My person you're calling to is forever unavailable1

Don't write or call me,

I've lived through it, and I'm not coming back;

You've shown everything, and you've lost me;

I won't be tricked again.

[Pre-Chorus:]

I'll wipe my tears; I'll become beautiful;

Today, I want to be happy.

[Chorus: x2]

I'm the queen of the night — tonight, for sure;

I don't hide my eyes, I won't cry anymore.

You're free now,

Do what you want; farewell!

I'll be the queen of the night tonight.

And this means I will forget you for sure;

You're free now,

You're no longer fashionable; get out!

1. It's a pun: she uses the stock phrase «абонент временно недоступен» 'the person you're calling is temporarily unavailable' (you hear then you dial a turned-off phone), but adds «мой» 'my': «мой абонент» 'my person you're calling'. As if her ex doesn't call her, but 'her person', someone else. /////// This can be interpreted that she became a different person, so her past self is not unavailable when her ex tries to call her.
